what I want.

What I wish I was doing right now:

Making chilli jam
Finishing a crotchet project
Baking a chocolate and beetroot cake
Sew, sew, sewing
Knitting something useful for someone
Baking pumpkin muffins

hashbrowns.

I have an addiction to hashbrowns. I thought I just really liked them, but I have come to realise. I am addicted. I understand that hashbrowns aren't the classiest of foods (or the healthiest). So I try and dress mine up with a little bit of salad.





Hashbrowns with spinach, carrot, apple, walnut and lime salad.

new shoes.

Mum wanted some new shoes for her upcoming European adventure. I convinced her to get a pair of these. I also convinced her to buy a pair for me!

breakfast.



I went out for breakfast with Mum & Dad on sunday and stumbled across a great little cafe on Smith st. Which was run buy a couple of french guys. The food was delicious! The service was great (I even got o practice some of my french), and they even gave me some great tips for when I move to Paris!

working.

This morning I worked for my mum. She owns her own interior design business, and is crazy busy at the moment. All I had to do was pick up some cushions and take back a whole lot of fabric samples to various fabric houses in Melbourne. It's a pretty good deal.

Our house was recently published in Home Beautiful magazine and named House of the Month. See here for more.

salmon patties

Everyone in my house has been super busy lately, and dinner duties get thrown to whoever is at home around 6.30pm. On Wednesday I decided to make a very quick and yummy dinner. Salmon patties.

I then cooked these again yesterday at work for my kids, and 2 out of 3 liked them. Success!


Sorry for the photos. These are taken the next day straight out of the fridge :)

I cooked breakfast for dad and I today. Tomatoes with feta, basil and red wine vinegar on toast.

puddings.






With all the left over brioche I had. I decided to make bread and butter puddings. I bought some raspberries and Lindt white chocolate.

brioche






Last week I decided to try my hand at making brioche. I have made breads before, and love the feeling of creating something from scratch.
They were delicious with Grandma's homemade jam.

Blogging will return shortly.
